  2. If you want to attend: Note the date (Wednesday, March 3) and plan around the GDC Festival of Gaming, since the ceremony is held as part of it; the afterparty follows immediately.
  3. If you want updates: The G.A.N.G. newsletter posts on the site (most recently dated 9/29/26) carry awards news together with other community events.

Limits of What's Confirmed

The site excerpt confirms the edition, date, GDC context, afterparty, and open submissions, but it does not list award categories, entry fees, judging process, or ticket details. For those specifics, use the submissions and awards pages linked from audiogang.org rather than assuming details from the homepage summary.
